Four duping students of lakhs with fake overseas medical admission arrested
The suspects operated a company called ISM Educate to facilitate student admissions overseas.
The accused were identified as Shahrukh Mansuri from Topkhana, Arif Khan from Nagjhiri, Gomu from Vidisha, currently residing in Indore, and Shaheen Mansuri from Shajapur. Authorities are investigating their criminal records.
SP Pradeep Sharma revealed during a press conference that in 2018, complainant Kriti, daughter of Mahendra Yadav, enrolled in an MBBS programme in Georgia through Arif Khan from Ujjain.
But, due to Russia-Ukraine war, she returned to India in 2022 after four years of study. When she contacted Khan again for the remaining year of her MBBS, he along with his associates Shahrukh, Gomu, and Shaheen took Rs 3 lakh from her along with her documents, passport, mark sheets, and transcripts for admission to the Urgench branch of a medical academy in Tashkent, Kazakhstan, without providing a receipt.
When she refused to go to Kazakhstan without a receipt, the accused threatened her and her family, extorting an additional Rs 5 lakh online.

Upon reaching Kazakhstan, she discovered that her admission was not secured. Arif and his team, along with their foreign agents, continued to give her false assurances, causing her to wander for six months. Her documents were confiscated by a foreign agent, and she was sent to a remote location, unable to leave without them.
Eventually, she contacted the relevant embassy and managed to leave, completing her degree in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, at her own expense.
Upon returning to India, she was threatened again when she demanded her money back, prompting her to file a report at the Mahakal police station in Ujjain.
The accused ran a company, ISM Educate, which has been found to have an invalid licence. They deceived students with false promises of foreign admissions, extracting large sums without providing any documents or receipts. Students would arrive abroad only to find out that no admission was secured and no fees were paid by the accused.
The accused would have their foreign agents confiscate students' visas and passports, causing significant mental distress and leaving them stranded, the SP said.
Investigations are underway into the misuse of funds through hawala and other fraudulent activities with students. Evidence is being collected from the accused's office in Indore.
Mahakal police station in charge inspector Gagan Badal said that the accused were presented in court from where they were sent in police remand for three days.
